Cimini went on to say he believes that Powell will continue to share the workload with either Elijah McGuire or someone else they bring in. Despite Matt Forte likely to be cut, it doesn't look like Powell's workload will increase much if at all. His receiving upside leaves him in play as a late pick in 2018 fantasy drafts.

Bilal Powell rushed 13 times for 46 yards while catching one pass for 10 yards in Sunday's Week 17 loss to the Patriots.

In a timeshare that was sometimes split three ways, Powell still managed to post career-highs in rushing yards (772), rushing attempts (178) and rushing scores (five) over the 2017 season. Where the timeshare and offensive scheme change hurt Powell was in the receiving department. After posting 47 and 58 receptions in each of the past two seasons, Powell managed to snag just 23 passes for 170 yards in the passing game. The 29-year old back is still affordably under contract for one more season and could enter the 2018 season was the team’s starting running back if they move on from veteran Matt Forte this offseason without spending significant draft capital at the position. Powell will enter the offseason as RB3 on the fantasy radar as even if he is the starter in 2018, Powell will very likely share reps with Elijah McGuire or another back since he’s never reached 200 carries in a season.

Bilal Powell rushed 19 times for 145 yards and a touchdown in Week 16 against the Chargers.

Powell's highlight was a 57-yard run where he got outside behind a convoy of blockers for a touchdown. After fading for most of the last two months, this was one of Powell's better games. Powell failed to catch his only target, with Matt Forte remaining the preferred option on pass downs. He'll be a FLEX play against the Patriots in the season finale. Sun, Dec 24, 2017 04:29:00 PM

Bilal Powell rushed 13 times for 44 yards and a touchdown in the Jets' Week 15 loss to the Saints.

Following a nice drive in which he basically carried the Jets down the field, Powell looked like he was going to get vultured by Matt Forte at the goal line. Forte was stuffed at the one, however, and Powell was able to skip away from a tackler in the backfield and get the corner for a two-yard score. That drive ended up being the highlight of his day, and Powell was held under 50 total yards for the fifth game in a row. With Forte and Elijah McGuire healthy, Powell will be just a risky FLEX option next week against the Chargers. Sun, Dec 17, 2017 06:04:00 PM

Smith tore his ACL in late April and will spend all of his third NFL season on injured reserve. The 37th overall pick in the 2015 draft, Smith will enter 2018 having appeared in just 14-of-48 possible games. If it makes Jets fans feel any better, Smith was taken just ahead of fellow receiver disappointments Dorial Green-Beckham (No. 40) and Devin Funchess (No. 41).

The tender is worth upwards of $3 million and indicates Enunwa is recovering well from neck surgery. If healthy, Enunwa will return as one of the Jets' top-three receivers along with Robby Anderson and possibly Jermaine Kearse.
